That 2017 schedule is gonna be pretty sweet though

BC & USF home in wk 1 &2
Nebraska & SDSU away in wk 3 & 4

That is a very good point. We dont play a P5 team at all in 2016 AND we will have a very good team. We could actually find ourselves undefeated but out of the Access Bowl like Marshall was headed towards last year before losing in the CUSA championship game.

Marshall played three (bad) MAC teams and Rhode Island. NIU has a far better schedule especially when you consider the AAC and MWC will also be in the mix for the Access spot. I like the schedule but I think it will be a lot tougher than people think to win all three.

The undefeated year was the year man, that f*cking MACC against BG was so disheartening.....crushing....we would have been back to back BCS bowls...that would have been so tremendous for the school...oh well, no sense in living in the past...

2015 ACCESS BOWL LETS DO THIS!

I agree it wont be easy but it doesn't matter how hard the schedule actually is...it matters as to how hard the perception of the schedule is to the selection committee.

I would have to assume that SF talked this over with BA.
